The Fort Worth Police Department is using pop culture to bring in new recruits to “the force.”

A new video posted to the department’s Facebook page, shows a Stormtrooper from the 'Star Wars' film franchise being trained in a police shooting range. Even with his high-tech blaster rifle, the force is clearly not strong with this Stormtrooper, as he missed every shot.

“The Galactic Empire's second attempt at getting into the next Fort Worth Police Academy class,” reads the post. The hilarious recruitment video has already been shared 21,000 times, and received over 6,000 views.

The 90 second video includes a link for prospective police academy recruits to apply. No word on if the applying Stormtrooper will be back for another try in the Fort Worth shooting range.
